PENALTY FALL AWARDED
KIRCHMEYER LOSES WRESTLING j BOUT I United Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. Because he declined to relinquish his python clutch on being awarded a fall, Rollend Kirchmeyer lost the wrestling bout with Jack Donovan at Wellington, last night, by a penalty fall. Donovan, who exhibited some pretty matcraft in the early rounds, pinned Kirchmeyer in the fourth round after dumping him three times. Kirchmeyer set the pace thereafter, and in the seventh round strove repeatedly to enmesh Donovan in his specialty hold; he finally succeeded in doing so. Donovan beat the mat in submission and the referee, Mr Alf. Jenkins, slapped Kirchmeyer on the back to indicate a fall, but Kichmeyer continued to bump Donovan violently on the mat, while the official strove vainly to drag him off. Finally a penalty fall was given against him.
